    OK.
    But read
    http://abisource.com/awards/
    and
    http://abisource.com/reviews/
    and
    records of downloading.

    For me, personally, AbiWord has a great philosophy. All platforms, all
    languages, practically no limited plugins. So, a perfect engine = very fast
    jump in the future.

    But OK. It's up to you.
    I will work on localization as I promised - for FUN.

    But future... it's a pity to waste possibilities. But maybe I am wrong. Let
    it be. Probably you know better. Anyway I still stay with you.

    PS.
    - What we really need?
    - Money? Coworkers? Developers?
    - No, we need good ideas...
